Entering the Awesome World of SNMP HD

Speakers: Francois Joanette and Manuel Deschambault Most likely, you have already heard the term SNMP. You might have done some googling, maybe you’re using SNMP already. Unless you’re and SNMP guru, this session is for you. This session all about SNMP, we will cover SNMP operations such as walks and gets. We will also discuss SNMP traps, purpose of MIBS, differences in protocol versions as all those aspects are the roots for what is next. We will discuss SNMP deployment, agent installation, securing the agent at different levels and considering the risk vs resource cost for high SNMP security. Bring your Mac with you. You will be able to gather information about your neighbours! Once the basics are covered, we will dive into extending the Net-SNMP agent to return the data of your choice, increasing the scope of SNMP monitoring to cover any mission critical data you need.
